When it was planned in the late 1980s, it was initially named Bandar Syed Putra, named after Jalan Syed Putra Federal Route 2 that runs through the southern flank of the development. The site that was selected for the development was formerly occupied by an abattoir.

Pedestrian access is possible via a walk from the Robinsons store in The Gardens mall, first via a bridge across the Klang River, then through the adjacent KL Eco City development project. A pedestrian bridge from The Gardens mall to Abdullah Hukum station has been constructed, and is opened to public since around 2019.
